Circle Justice

2009-01-07T12:34:00.000-08:00

I think Cole is an angry kid. I don't even think he should really be punished. I think he should be helped. He is just a confused and mad kid. Manley because of his parents. If I was in circle justice with Cole I think I would see and realize that right away he just needs help and love. It would probably take him awhile to be caring and respectful. But its better than a punishment to me. Because with me, punishment just makes me angrier. It doesn't fix anything in my eyes unless you can see they are truley a bad person.

My Winter Break

2009-01-05T12:38:00.000-08:00

My Winter Break was pretty fun. My Christmas wasn't all that great. Until my friends called me and told me to come over for a little Christmas party they were having. I had a blast. We hung out at the same house for 3 days.
Now my New Years was a good one to. My mom let me throw a little party with about 15 people there. We played games, listened to music, so things got a little out of control. The cops ended up showing up. For some reason they let my mom off the hook and everyone else to, so no one got into trouble. I had like 10 people stay over for 3 nights at my house. We had a big slumber party thingy in my room every night. We put all the beds together to make one giant bed. And we all snuck into the movies to go watch Yes Man. We did a ton more of things. It was fun.
But a couple days after New Years my mom comes home from work crying and told me that my uncle committed suicide last night. I was so shocked that I fell to the ground. That day was a sad day. I went to go see all my family and everyone was depressed and surprised he would do something like this. the funeral is going to be at the end of this week sometime.

Facts About Spirit Bears

2008-12-11T13:04:00.000-08:00

The Kermode or Spirit Bear is a black bear that has white fur due to a rare genetic trait.

The bear is not albino, as it typically has a brown nose and eyes.

The greatest concentration of Spirit Bears are found on the Central Coast and North Coast of British Columbia, Canada, but have been documented in northeast British Columbia and as far east in North America as Minnesota.

The Spirit Bear, like most black bears, weighs about half a pound when born and generally between 150-300 pounds when fully grown.

The bear’s body length, measured from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail, averages between four and six feet. Its height, measured from the bottom of the paw flat on the ground to the highest part of the shoulders, is between two-and-a-half and three feet.

Spirit bears, like most black bears, are omnivores. They eat berries, nuts, fruits, roots, grasses and other plants, insects, deer and moose fawns, carrion and, during the salmon season from late summer through fall, spawning salmon.

Why I Think The Drinking Age Should Be Changed

2008-11-12T12:48:00.001-08:00

I think the drinking age should be changed to 18 at least. If I could choose I would say drinking should be legal. But I have to think about the real world. But the reason for me thinking the drinking age should be changed to 18 is because that's when you are legal to move out and legal to make your own decisions and to just do things on your own without your parents. And if you get in trouble its all on you not your parents anymore. If your allowed to by cigarettes at the age of 18 you should be able to by alcohol.

The first club i ever made with friends

2008-10-15T12:39:00.000-07:00

Well this year me and my friends wanted to build a treefort. And the reason for that is becuase all my friends didn't have jobs and no places to stay. It was fun we had little parties out there and just all hung out with eachother. It was really kiddish at the age of 18. But we had a great time out there. So the first fort we build was in a tree it was a little small for about 7 people to be staying and sleeping in. It was just a little cramed. So we decided to make a bigger tree fort and this time this tree fort was 3 stories high. We were so high off the ground from bugs and little animals. It was scary to stay the night out there though because there was a cult out there and this girl got murderd out there too. My mom even knew who that girl was. But we all loved our tree fort it was even by a little river so we could go swimming. We moved on from our fort now. We are all starting to get older and a little wiser.
